Description

Technical Field

[0001] This utility model relates to the field of sports target shooting equipment technology, and in particular to a novel target launcher and a skeet shooting training system including the target launcher. Background Technology

[0002] Skeet shooting is a shooting sport in which firearms are used to shoot at circular clay discs thrown into the air as targets. The launching of the clay discs relies on a specially designed target launcher, which can launch them into the air at a maximum distance of 80 meters. Modern target launchers are electrically operated, and multi-directional clay disc launchers are equipped with a voice control system that automatically launches the clay discs based on the shooter's "good" call.

[0003] A Chinese utility model patent with publication number CN213147575U discloses a target launching machine, including a frame, a power mechanism disposed on the upper end of the frame, a target launching arm rotatably disposed on the upper end of the frame and connected to the power mechanism, a dropping plate assembly disposed on the upper end of the target launching arm, and a flying saucer frame disposed on the upper end of the dropping plate assembly. The dropping plate assembly includes a limiting plate slidably disposed on the lower end of the flying saucer frame, an abutting wheel disposed on the lower end of the limiting plate, and a cam that rotates coaxially with the target launching arm and drives the abutting wheel away from the target launching arm. A dropping plate hole is opened at the lower end of the flying saucer frame, and a lowering plate hole that is misaligned with the dropping plate hole is opened in the middle of the limiting plate. A recovery assembly for driving the limiting plate to reset is provided on one side of the flying saucer frame.

[0004] The above structure uses a rotating target-launching arm to drive a cam to rotate coaxially, which in turn drives a stop wheel to slide a limiting plate, causing the flying saucer to fall from the landing hole and the lowering hole that coincide on the axis, thus achieving target launching. However, the target launching angle of this structure is fixed, and there is only height adjustment. When applied to sports competitions such as skeet shooting, the flying saucer needs to be launched from different angles and heights by multiple target launchers. The above structure is not suitable for this requirement. Therefore, we propose a new target launcher and a skeet shooting training system containing it to solve the above problems. Utility Model Content

[0005] The technical problem to be solved by this utility model is to overcome the defects of the existing technology. This utility model proposes a new type of target launcher and a flying saucer shooting training system including the target, which can meet the needs of launching the target at different heights and at multiple angles, and the angle adjustment accuracy can be controlled within 1°.

[0006] To solve the above-mentioned technical problems, the technical solution adopted by this utility model is: a novel target throwing machine, comprising: a main unit and a target throwing plate, a disc target, and a target throwing arm connected to the top of the main unit. The main unit has a built-in transmission component to servo drive the target throwing arm to rotate. The disc target is stacked through a target frame and falls from the bottom of the target frame onto the target throwing plate, and is then thrown out by the target throwing arm after impact. The bottom of the main unit is also provided with a chassis, and the top of the chassis is provided with a servo-rotating turntable to horizontally adjust the direction of the main unit. One end of the turntable is hinged to one side of the bottom of the main unit, and the other end is fixed with an angle adjustment component to adjust the elevation angle at the hinge point of the main unit. The chassis is adjustable and can be raised and lowered.

[0007] Furthermore, the angle adjustment assembly includes a stepper motor, a support rod, a lead screw, and a nut seat. The two ends of the lead screw are rotatably connected to the top of the turntable via a rotating platform. The stepper motor is fixedly connected to the turntable, and its output end is coaxially fixed with the lead screw. The bottom of the nut seat is slidably connected to the turntable, and its center is threadedly engaged with the lead screw. One end of the support rod is hinged to the top of the nut seat, and the other end is hinged to the center of the bottom of the main unit.

[0008] Furthermore, lifting jacks are also provided around the chassis, and the outer side of the chassis is sleeved and fixed on the output arm of the lifting jacks.

[0009] Furthermore, wheels are fixed at the four corners of the bottom of the chassis.

[0010] Furthermore, the target frame includes a support plate, a target launching disk, and a turntable. The top of the target launching disk has multiple circular openings equidistant from its center, and a guide post is vertically fixed on the side of each circular opening to limit the position of the disc target. The support plate is located at the bottom of the target launching disk, and its end near the target launching arm is fixed to the top of the host machine by a pin. The turntable is servo driven to rotate and is fixed at the top center of the support plate. The center of the target launching disk is coaxially fixed with the turntable.

[0011] Furthermore, the support plate has an opening corresponding to the initial position of the disc target on the target launching plate, and target-separating pieces are bolted to both sides of the opening. The target-separating pieces are arc-shaped, inclined and corresponding to the track of the target launching plate. The opening is exposed inside each target-separating piece to contact both sides of the disc target to achieve target separation.

[0012] Furthermore, the transmission assembly is located inside the main unit and includes a spring and a variable speed motor. One end of the spring is connected to the target-launching arm via a crank mechanism, and the other end is connected to the outside of the main unit via a connecting rod and is equipped with a spring tension adjustment handwheel for adjustment. The variable speed motor is fixed to the bottom of the main unit and is used to drive the crank mechanism to rotate.

[0013] Furthermore, the host computer also has a limiting arm fixed at the bottom of the target frame to limit the target throwing arm.

[0014] Furthermore, the chassis has a built-in electrical control box, which is electrically connected to the angle adjustment assembly, the transmission assembly, and the variable speed motor.

[0015] A skeet shooting training system includes the novel target launcher described above, wherein the target launcher comprises multiple targets that can alternately serve the target launch rules required for shooting training.

[0016] Compared with the prior art, the beneficial effects of this utility model include: the target height is shifted by an adjustable lifting chassis, different launching directions are adjusted by a turntable servo rotation, and the overall angle of the host is adjusted by an angle adjustment component, which indirectly drives the target angle to change. The angle adjustment accuracy can be controlled within 1°, which can meet the needs of different launching angles, launching heights and launching directions in shooting training.

[0022] It is readily understood that, based on the technical solution of this utility model, those skilled in the art can propose various interchangeable structural methods and implementations without altering the essential spirit of this utility model. Therefore, the following detailed embodiments and accompanying drawings are merely illustrative descriptions of the technical solution of this utility model and should not be considered as the entirety of this utility model or as limitations or restrictions on the technical solution of this utility model.

[0023] According to one embodiment of the present invention, in conjunction with Figures 1-3 As shown.

[0024] like Figure 1 As shown, in this embodiment, a novel target-throwing machine includes a main unit 11 and a target-throwing plate 12, a disc target 13, and a target-throwing arm 14 connected to the top of the main unit 11. The main unit 11 has a built-in transmission component to servo-drive the target-throwing arm 14 to rotate. The disc target 13 is stacked through a target frame 15 and falls from the bottom of the target frame 15 onto the target-throwing plate 12, and is then thrown out by the target-throwing arm 14 after impact. The bottom of the main unit 11 is also provided with a chassis, and the top of the chassis is provided with a servo-rotating turntable 5. One end of the turntable 5 is hinged to one side of the bottom of the main unit 11, and the other end is fixed with an angle adjustment component to adjust the elevation angle of the hinge point of the main unit 11. The chassis is adjustable and can be raised and lowered.

[0025] In sports competitions such as skeet shooting, skeet shooting requires multiple target launchers to launch targets from different angles and heights. This solution can achieve the displacement of the skeet target 13 in height through an adjustable and lifting chassis, and then adjust the different launching directions through the servo rotation of the turntable 5. Finally, the angle adjustment component is used to adjust the overall angle of the main unit 11, which indirectly drives the angle change of the skeet target 13. This can meet the needs of different launching angles, launching heights, and launching directions in shooting training.

[0026] The actual selection of the angle adjustment component can include various types. In this embodiment, the selection includes a stepper motor 8, a support rod 7, a lead screw 20, and a nut seat 21. The two ends of the lead screw 20 are rotatably connected to the top of the turntable 5 through a rotating platform 22. The stepper motor 8 is fixedly connected to the turntable 5, and its output end is coaxially fixed with the lead screw 20. The bottom of the nut seat 21 is slidably connected to the turntable 5, and its center is threaded with the lead screw 20. One end of the support rod 7 is hinged to the top of the nut seat 21, and the other end is hinged to the bottom center of the main unit 11.

[0027] After the stepper motor 8 outputs, it can drive the lead screw 20 to rotate and position within the rotating table 22. Then, the nut seat 21, due to the sliding limit between its bottom and the turntable 5, can be linearly moved along the axis of the lead screw 20 under the action of the screw thread. Furthermore, because the two ends of the support rod 7 are hinged to the nut seat 21 and the bottom of the main unit 11, the elevation angle adjustment at the hinge point between the bottom of the main unit 11 and the turntable 5, i.e., the elevation angle adjustment fulcrum 6, is finally realized. The angle adjustment accuracy can be controlled within 1°.

[0028] Similarly, for height adjustment, this solution also includes lifting jacks 4 around the chassis, with the outer side of the chassis extending outwards to be fixed onto the output arms of the lifting jacks 4. Wheels 2 are fixed to the four corners of the chassis bottom. The wheels 2 facilitate transportation and movement during actual operation and installation.

[0029] like Figure 2 and Figure 3 As shown, in order to achieve efficient reloading and launching required for shooting training, the target frame 15 in this solution includes a support plate, a target launching plate 18, and a turntable. The top of the target launching plate 18 has multiple circular openings equidistant from its center, and a guide post is vertically fixed on the side of each circular opening to limit the position of the disc target 13. The support plate is located at the bottom of the target launching plate 18, and its end near the target launching arm 14 is fixed to the top of the host 11 by a pin. The turntable is servo driven to rotate and is fixed at the top center of the support plate. The center of the target launching plate 18 is coaxially fixed with the turntable.

[0030] The support plate has an opening at the initial position of the disc target 13 on the target launching plate 12, and target-separating pieces 19 are bolted to both sides of the opening. The target-separating pieces 19 have an arc structure, are inclined and correspond to the track of the target launching plate 12. The opening is exposed inside each target-separating piece 19 to contact both sides of the disc target 13 to achieve target separation.

[0031] After the turntable is driven to rotate, it can drive the target throwing disk 18 to rotate together. Then, the butterfly valves stacked in each circular opening rotate to the initial position of the target 13 on the target throwing plate 12. The target separating plates 19 on both sides can contact the bottom of the target 13. Then, the target separating plates 19 separate the bottom target 13 in the circular opening, insert it into the opening, and then it falls onto the target throwing plate 12. The remaining target 13 in the circular opening continues to rotate along the arc direction of the target separating plates 19, and then repeats the target separating operation of the bottom target 13 in the next circular opening.

[0032] like Figure 2As shown, the swinging of the target-launching arm 14 relies on a transmission assembly. In this embodiment, the transmission assembly is located inside the main unit 11 and includes a spring 17 and a variable-speed motor 10. One end of the spring 17 is connected to the target-launching arm 14 via a crank mechanism 16, and the other end is connected to the outside of the main unit 11 via a connecting rod 23 and is equipped with a spring tension adjustment handwheel 9 for adjustment. The variable-speed motor 10 is fixed to the bottom of the main unit 11 and is used to drive the crank mechanism 16 to rotate. The main unit 11 also has a limit arm 24 fixed at the bottom corresponding to the target frame 15 to limit the target-launching arm 14.

[0033] After the variable speed motor 10 rotates, it can drive the crank mechanism 16 to rotate, which in turn drives one end of the spring 17 to extend and retract. The spring tension adjustment handwheel 9 is used to adjust the original compression of the spring 17, which indirectly adjusts the swing driving force of the target throwing arm 14. After the spring 17 returns to its original position, the top of the crank mechanism 16 can drive the target throwing arm 14 to swing, thereby realizing the impact and launching of the disc target 13.

[0034] To facilitate electronic control adjustment, this application also includes an electronic control box 3 built into the chassis. The electronic control box 3 is electrically connected to the angle adjustment component, the transmission component, and the variable speed motor 10. After PLC programming, servo control is more convenient.

[0035] Similarly, a skeet shooting training system that includes the aforementioned novel target launcher is also within the protection scope of this utility model. In the actual training system construction process, the target launcher can be set to multiple units and can alternately serve the target launching rules required for shooting training.

[0036] The technical scope of this utility model is not limited to the content described above. Those skilled in the art can make various modifications and variations to the above embodiments without departing from the technical concept of this utility model, and all such modifications and variations should fall within the protection scope of this utility model.
